ELKTON â Cecil County Health Department and Union Hospital/ChristianaCare receive about 1,000 COVID-19 vaccines weekly, and local pharmacies each receive anywhere from 100 to 200 in the same period, according to Lauren Levy, the countyâs health officer.
âHowever this week, weâve actually seen an uptick and weâre excited about that, especially with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine,â Levy said.
The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, which each require two doses, are what is being administered currently. However the Food and Drug Administration gave Emergency Use Authorization to the J&J vaccine over the weekend. Itâs different from the first two in that it requires only one vaccine and also provides greater protection from being hospitalized from complications.
